Thank you! The building is an old church in Sedgwick Maine that was recently restored. The light was good - not too sunny not too cloudy. I didn't make a note of how long the exposure was. The ONDU comes with an exposure chart. You read the light at your ISO (400 in my case) and aperture at F22. I had a film processor develop the film. I don't have the darkroom equip to process sheet film at home.

That's a great crazy image. I really like the viewfinder that most pinhole cameras come with.

Imagine that your eye is where the hole is and project a frame around what it would see. How crazy is that? I love what you did with it. It's truth about where, exactly, you are.

Having lived in Portland and married a Portland woman, the fact that this image is "Interior, Oregon" is just wonderful. I lived in a very cold apartment on 39th (now Cesar Chavez) that had a wood stove which had a copper coil in it that heated water. That was extremely interior. Wish that I had made it into a camera.

The outrageousness of this image deserves our honest respect. Perspective is everything. Pinhole is a perspective engine. It's fun to make cameras that produce endless surprises. Our eye can NEVER see like that. Just try to put your eye in that place!

My first successful attempt at a pinhole photograph. I used an Ondu 4X5 Rise large format. I used a filmback from my graphlex and the film was FPP Mummy 400 BW Negative Film. I am pleased considering I really have no idea what I am doing...

That’s a great result for a first pinhole attempt, strong mood, nice tonal range, and the softness really suits the church scene.
